Joy - Kutia Tribe Lady
Picture shows a lady from the Kutia Tribe. I was visiting the tribal areas in East India and arrived at this Kutia village in Chhattisgarh. A family invited us in and we were introduced to all the members. The lady in the picture is the grandmother who is 102 years old. I was taking pictures of her daughters and their children but she wouldn't pose for one initially. I showed her the photos of her friends and she started laughing, her face changed. So I asked her to keep that smile and hand gesture. She loved the picture.
